Hot-Plug Power Supply LED

The single LED indicator on each hot-plug power supply has two states: GREEN and OFF. The GREEN state indicates that power is connected to this supply and that the server is in the ON state. The OFF state means that either the server is turned off, the hot-plug power supply has no power, and or the power supply is failed.

RJ-45 LED Indicators

There are two LED indicators on the RJ-45 connector. The LED on the left indicates NIC Activity, where ON indicates activity and OFF indicates no activity observed by the server. The LED on the right indicates NIC Link Status, where ON indicates a good link and OFF indicates no link.
